Persona 5 Tactica Aims to Keep You Very Busy Outside the Main Story

Also confirms New Game+

by Robert Ramsey Wed 18th Oct 2023

Atlus has just dropped a load of new information on Persona 5 Tactica, detailing what we can expect outside of the main story missions. As it turns out, you can replay stages to farm experience points, cash, and personas, while also fulfilling side quests for specific rewards like skill tree unlocks and even more persona fusion options. All in all, it sounds like this strategy RPG aims to keep you busy — as we've come to expect from any game with 'Persona' in the name.

And then there's New Game+. We don't yet know how long a full playthrough of Persona 5 Tactica will take, but if you haven't had your fill the first time, you can carry over your persona compendium, money, equipment, and more to a fresh run. As a bonus, you'll also unlock a library of artwork taken from both the finished release and the game's development cycle, which is pretty cool.

A little too much, some might say.

Moderately hyped. Will be the next thing I buy. We'll see if the cow's got any milk left in her

I'm looking forward to it. First Like A Dragon Gaiden and then I'll get to Tactica. December thankfully looks pretty quiet other than Avatar for me so I should be able to get plenty of time for Tactica.

Looks fun but my god, the chibi character models are an eyesore.

Gotta say I'm more excited for this than Spider-Man 2.This and Assassins Creed Mirage will be added to my birthday list.

I've never played a Persona game before, but since it's a strategy game, I may very well give this a shot at some point. I do like a good strategy game.

Yeah it's a great series and you can make your way into the larger SMT universe if you're looking for a harder challenge at some point too.

@Bentleyma Give me an extra 100+ hours in a year to game and I'll happily try it. My backlog is already filled with plenty of other long games, so I'm not sure it will ever happen. I'll never say never of course, as I do have the regular Persona 5 in my collection from when it was a part of the PS5's PS Plus Collection.

@Hooder Thanks, but that'd probably be a no on SMT even though I have a Switch (that I don't use). I refuse to play Souls games because I know I won't enjoy them at all because I'd be constantly frustrated, and I have a feeling I would have a similar experience with that series.
